Palm Beach: A Complete Guide to the Island By Pamela Acheson Myers Twomoose Press $14.95 The island of Palm Beach is known as a winter retreat for the wealthy and the famous, but all year round it is a town full of wonderfully fun things to do and see, from shopping along legendary Worth Avenue to hitting the beautiful beaches, from riding a bike to searching for the best espresso martini, from joining a spooky ghost walk to relaxing in a stunning sculpture garden.

You will find out about wonderful restaurants, bars, shops, beaches, sports, art galleries, happy hours, museums, activities, historical sights, spas, and more. There are also seven walks designed to help you fully explore the island.

Note: This book is only on the island of Palm Beach. West Palm Beach is not included. A Year in Palm Beach: Life in an Alternate Universe By Pamela Acheson Myers and Richard B. Myers Two Thousand Three Associates $26.95 This book is an adventure, a memoir, a love story, and a coming-of-age book for baby boomers. On a whim, the authors move to Palm Beach for one year. What begins as a playful adventure turns into a life-changing event. This wise book shows it is not the stuff we have but how we live our life that is important. In the style of Peter Mayle’s A Year in Provence and Frances Mayes’ Under the Tuscan Sun, this book shows that sometimes a move to a new location can also mean a move to a new and better place in your life. As the authors’ year unfolds, they also provide a finely-painted portrait of Palm Beach, from the mega yachts, mansions, and millionaires to laws that forbid dogs from barking or dictate the height of one’s lawn. The authors swap stories with Jimmy Buffett, kick soccer balls with Rod Stewart, and have cocktails with monkeys on a yacht. This remarkable book gives readers the chance to live a fun, adventure-filled year in Palm Beach and to see how one couple came to find out what was most important to them and how they wanted to live the rest of their life.

Richard Chilton provides detailed information about buying and storing wine, how to read a wine list, the role of the sommelier, wine fraud, how wine is really made, and how weather patterns can influence the quality of a vintage. A vineyard owner and lifelong wine lover, the author encourages readers to discover wine by tasting, taking notes, and tasting again. The book also includes a richly illustrated, full-color reference section on a select group of vineyards from all over the world, describing their history, winemaking philosophy, terroir, and top vintages—what Chilton calls benchmark wines. The characteristics of these memorable wines provide the essential starting point to understand what to look for when evaluating any wine. Equipped with this easy-to-read reference, readers will have all the tools they need to begin their own wine journey. Osteria: 1,000 Generous and Simple Recipes from Italy's Best Local Restaurants; Hardcover; By Slow Food Editore Rizzoli $45.00 This celebration of the simple, hospitable cooking of Italy's small regional restaurants is unmatched in both authenticity and scope. Slow Food, the international defender of local food traditions, scoured the countryside of every region of Italy to collect and share the best traditional recipes from osterie, the humble local taverns that preserve the heritage of true Italian cooking. This cookbook is the culmination of that research--1,000 compelling recipes that highlight ingenuity with rustic ingredients and the generous hospitality of these off-the-beaten- track gems where we all dream of dining. Within the book, these homegrown chefs share their knowledge of local ingredients worth searching out, cooking techniques that vary from region to region (and even from town to town), and charming culinary customs. From cornmeal pizza with chicory and zucchini parmesan to pork ribs with cabbage and mushrooms, this is eminently cookable Italian food, perfect for everyday family meals and feasts alike. Each recipe is labeled with its region of origin, and indexes by both region and principal ingredient are provided. Osteria is an essential resource for every cook (and armchair traveler) who wants the secrets of Italian cooking straight from the source. Food in Vogue By Vogue Editors Abrams $75.00 Food in Vogue collects the most striking, mouthwatering food photography and finest food writing from one of the most respected magazines in the world. Combining legendary essays by longtime Vogue food critic Jeffrey Steingarten, as well as contributions from rising food writers such as Tamar Adler and Oliver Strand, with original behind-the-scenes interviews, the book pairs portraits of world-renowned or rising chefs along with iconic food photography, much of it shot by Irving Penn and conceived by editor Phyllis Posnick. Food in Vogue examines how Vogue’s relationship with and treatment of food has changed in its pages through lavish and challenging food photographs, and its career-defining interviews with the world’s hottest chefs. Food in Vogue is more than a book about food. It’s a book about trends, fashion, and culture, told through the world’s common language. Kitchen Creativity: Unlocking Culinary Genius with Wisdom, Inspiration, and Ideas from the World's Most Creative Chefs By Karen Page Hachette $40.00 In this groundbreaking exploration of culinary genius, the authors of The Flavor Bible reveal the surprising strategies great chefs use to do what they do best. Beyond a cookbook, Kitchen Creativity is a paradigm-shifting guide to inventive cooking (without recipes!) that will inspire you to think, improvise, and cook like the world's best chefs. Great cooking is as much about intuition and imagination as it is about flavor and technique. Kitchen Creativity distills brilliant insights into these creative processes from more than 100 top restaurant kitchens, including the Bazaar, Blue Hill, Daniel, Dirt Candy, Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad, Gramercy Tavern, the Inn at Little Washington, Le Bernardin, Oleana, Rustic Canyon, Saison, Single Thread, and Topolobampo. Cuba: 101 Beautiful and Nostalgic Places to Visit By Michael Connors and Jorge A. Laserna, Photographer Rizzoli $50.00 At a time when more travelers are discovering or rediscovering Cuba, this book is an in-depth exploration of 101 of the most authentic and compelling sites that reveal the real Cuba. Caribbean antiques expert, art historian, and adventurer Michael Connors presents the breadth of this island’s most intriguing destinations and architectural treasures. The book features iconic places such as the tobacco plantations in Pinar del Río, the fortresses and palacios, Hemingway’s home outside of Havana, Xanadu (the DuPont mansion), the old French Triolet Pharmacy in Matanzas, and the Sugar Mill Valley in Sancti Spíritus. The lush photographs were shot exclusively for this book, bringing each location and treasure alive. It is a traveler’s mantra these days: see Cuba before it loses its 1950s nostalgia and turns into a tourist trap. New York Living: Re-Inventing Home By Paul Gunther, Gay Giordano and Charles Davey, Foreword by Adele Chatfield- Taylor, photographed by Mick Hales Rizzoli $60.00 What does a home look like in twenty-first-century New York? While the city’s name alone brings to mind very specific ideas—the Fifth Avenue penthouse, with its elegant moldings and crystal chandeliers; the SoHo loft, with its bright spaces and air of bohemian ease; the Brooklyn brownstone, with its fireplaces, parquet floors, and lush backyards—the truth is, New York today is much more than this, and the potential for variety in ways of living is, now more than ever, virtually limitless. As a result, in the twenty-first century, the combined design professions enjoy an unprecedented menu of prospective solutions, whether based upon respect for a classically inflected New York past, an emphatic denial of such a tradition, or, most often, some hybrid response that often yields the best innovation possible.

Located in The Beekman Hotel, Temple Court has earned high marks for both Chef Colicchio's signature style and seasonal take on classic dishes as well as for the restaurant and bar's meticulously appointed decor. Here he tells us how the restaurant pays homage to the neighborhood's history. Watch the video at: http://twn.nyc/TempleCourt "A lot of what we do here at Temple Court starts with this idea of bringing back the classics and making them modern. It's all a metaphor for what's going on Downtown. What's old is new, what's new is old - it's all coming back again," notes Chef/Owner Colicchio. "Walking from the Oculus to Temple Court, you can literally visit the future and the past of Lower Manhattan within 15 minutes," adds Simmons. Temple Court was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Lower Manhattan and is part of the wave of established names and up-and-coming food stars joining the neighborhood's ranks.

  • Step Into a New Phase: Eleven Madison Park Makes Art Part of A
    EMP Step, 2017, cast stainless steel, 192 x 15 x 4.5 inches, by Daniel Turner at Eleven Madison Park. Eleven Madison Park, a vaunted restaurant in a vaulted space in the Flatiron District in New York, has reopened to much fanfare after four months off for renovation and reimagination. Chef Daniel Humm is back in the kitchen he made a focus of global attention among gourmands, and diners are back in front of the kind of artful and sophisticated dishes he has made a specialty. Upon entry, guests at Eleven Madison Park will now pass over a sort of threshold below: an artwork conceived for the luxe environs by the artist Daniel Turner. The piece is a Minimalist sculpture on the floor that doubles as a step up to the dining room, made of old materials from the restaurant’s former kitchen that were melted down and transfigured into a new form. The work is titled EMP Step. To learn more about its genesis and the journey to its new home, ARTnews spoke to both the artist and the chef about the project—and photographed it beginning this summer, while it was in the fabrication phase, and through its final installation last week. Interviews with Turner and Humm follow below, with a photo slideshow beneath. As told to Andy Battaglia: Daniel Turner, artist Daniel Humm heard of my piece Particle Process Cafeteria at König Galerie in 2016. Through a deconstructive process, I dissolved components of a cafeteria—folding chairs, collapsible tables, pieces of steel and wood—that were reduced to particle form.

  • May 15, 2019 Restaurant Guide to New York City Here Are Evaluations
    May 15, 2019 Restaurant Guide to New York City Here are evaluations of restaurants that I’ve tried in New York. You’ll see that the great majority of them receive grades of A or B. I don’t think that this is because I’m an easy grader. Rather, I generally don’t go to a place unless it has received at least a 4.0 from the generally reliable Zagat guide or I’ve gotten a recommendation from a source whose judgment I trust. Still, there are clunkers now and then. Also, I grade on a curve in the sense that a great hamburger joint and a great upscale French restaurant can both merit an A+, even though the dining experiences will be rather different. (Using the jargon of economics, I’m more or less looking at the marginal utility per dollar!) For the most part, these restaurants fall in the mid-price range (for Manhattan), roughly $40 to $60 per person, without drinks. Bon appétit! Restaurant Neighborhood Date Grade Comments 33 Greenwich Greenwich October 2017 A- Southern. Updated versions of southern food were Village outstanding. Try the shrimp and grits and the meatloaf sandwich. The service, while pleasant, was too slow and inattentive. 44& ½ Hell’s Kitchen Hell’s Kitchen November 2006 B+ American. Some of the dishes were terrific (goat cheese souffle’ appetizer), but some, like the main course duck, were only ok. November 2009 A Upgraded this to an A—everything was excellent, January 2010 A service was good, and portions were substantial. October 2017 A- Everything was good.

  • April 21,2015 the Honorable Bill De Blasio Mayor of New York City City
    April 21, 2015 The Honorable Bill de Blasio Mayor of New York City City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio, We’re writing to share with you our support, along with that of 25 of New York City’s most prominent chefs and restaurateurs, for robust funding to secure the city’s supply of fresh, local food by conserving its regional foodshed in the Hudson Valley. This is an issue of critical importance to the city’s restaurant/tourism economy and its residents’ public health, particularly those living in low and middle income communities lacking access to such food. Attached please find a Statement of Support from the above mentioned chefs and restaurateurs in support of this goal, as well as the Foodshed Conservation Plan offering a data-driven, collaborative strategy for protecting the most productive agricultural lands in the city’s foodshed. Development pressures threaten 89 percent of Hudson Valley farmland, which supplies much of the city’s fresh, local food. What’s more, unmet demand for regionally produced food in New York City approaches $1 billion annually. You have a unique opportunity to become the nation’s leading progressive food policy voice by taking steps to create a more resilient, sustainable regional food system. A strategic investment by the city will leverage $20 million just committed by New York State to conserve Hudson Valley farmland, as well as substantial additional private and public support. The city has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to conserve land in the watershed to protect its water supply. We’re asking for your support to appropriate $5 million per year for 10 years in the city’s budget to conserve farms in its foodshed.

Ms. Beach is already doing it, as a server at restaurant L20 in Chicago. She meticulously assembles and arranges place settings for the restaurant's 14-course $210 tasting menu. She learns about foods and dishes like velvet crab, matsutake mushrooms and craquelin bread and curates it all into engaging talking points for each new party of guests. "I'm not just listing off a series of ingredients," says Ms. Beach, 31, who moved to Chicago from Minneapolis in 2011 to pursue her food career. "I'm telling them a bit of a story." Far from biding time before the next acting audition, many of the newest generation of servers at the nation's top restaurants are waiting tables as a way to hone their chops for a career in restaurant management. They are coming out of top culinary and Ivy League schools, and they consider themselves professionals.
